Tastes change...
Back in the early 90s I was a big fan of the original game. To be honest, I even caught fire for the whole point&click genre (but I was also a Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken fan before that). Today? Well. Certainly a nice game when you play it for the first time. The remake is quite ok. But somehow I didn't really warm up to the game anymore. The humour is somehow too adolescent for me, the pirate genre doesn't excite me anymore and, unlike in 1990, the game is not a technical quantum leap. Other titles from the 90s (and their remakes), such as Gabriel Knight - Sins of the Fathers, Full Throttle, The Dig, Blade Runner or the pixel art adventures by Wadjeteye Games or Grundislav or titles like Thimbleweed Park games can still excite me today. Tastes obviously change over time.
